Wow, really enjoyed this interview – great selection of questions and almost all of Jason’s answers would make a great one-line quote to go along with this link (the essence of what Kottke does best?)….Thanks!

Reading 1,200 RSS feeds daily is a lot. That’s like…at least five or six per hour, right? The number probably drops dramatically after you have sex with other people besides imaginary ones.

Who the hell is this Jason Kottke guy?

I wish you hadn’t seemed so gobsmacked that mighty Jason Kottke reads 300 RSS feeds a day. That’s what RSS is for. Quite a few people read quadruple that many feeds.

I get the impression you think 300 is a huge number because Kottke quoted it. It wouldn’t seem huge coming from somebody you’d never heard of. I guess reading 300 feeds is just another of the endlessly impressive things about Jason Kottke. But, to reiterate, RSS is all about efficiently reading hundreds of sites, and a large OPML file is expected of the general-interest blogger.

I started out writing an “online journal” ten years ago and referred to it as such because the terms “weblog” or “blog” were not in mainstream use (if they’d even been coined by that stage). My online journal became a blog overnight really especially once everyone else started using the word. Interesting to hear there was an actual difference between online diaries and weblogs though.
